Open & Save

File Format
Encoding:

This sets the default character encoding for your files.

End of line:

Choose your prefered end of line mode for your active document. You have the choice between Unix-like, DOS/Windows® or Macintosh.

Automatic end of line detection

Check this if you want the editor to autodetect the end of line type. The first found end of line type will be used for the whole file.

Memory Usage
Maximum loaded blocks per file:

The editor will load given number of blocks (of around 2048 lines) of text into memory; if the filesize is bigger than this the other blocks are swapped to disk and loaded transparently as-needed.

This can cause little delays while navigating in the document; a larger block count increases the editing speed at the cost of memory.

For normal usage, just choose the highest possible block count: limit it only if you have problems with the memory usage.

Automatic Cleanups on Load/Save
Remove trailing spaces

The editor will automatically eliminate extra spaces at the ends of lines of text while loading/saving the file.

Folder Config File
Search depth for config file:

The editor will search the given number of folder levels upwards for KWrite config file and load the settings line from it.

Backup on Save

Backing up on save will cause KWrite to copy the disk file to <prefix><filename><suffix>' before saving changes. The suffix defaults to ~ and prefix is empty by default.

Local files

Check this if you want backups of local files when saving.

Remote files

Check this if you want backups of remote files when saving.

Prefix

Enter the prefix to prepend to the backup file names.

Suffix

Enter the suffix to add to the backup file names.
